Mojtaba Khamenei — the expected next supreme leader — was reportedly wounded in an Israeli air strike.
The son of Iran’s slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei survived an assassination attempt made by Israel during the devastating launch of Lion’s Roar military operation Feb. 28, which occurred in tandem with the US’s Operation Epic Fury, Times of Israel reported on Saturday.
Other strikes in the joint military attack killed his father and roughly 40 other high-ranking Islamic Republic leaders.
Also killed was Mojtaba’s wife, Zahra Haddad Adel, who came from a family long associated with the country’s theocracy.
It’s not clear if Mojtaba, 56, was with his father in the Ayatollah’s compound that was decimated by airstrikes, or if he was targeted in a separate attack on the regime.
The details and extent of his injuries are also not clear.
He has likely gone into hiding as both the US and Israel continue to rain missiles on the Islamic Republic.
Mojtaba is favored by Tehran’s influential Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to succeed his father, but some in the 88-member Assembly of Experts – tasked with choosing the next supreme leader – have reportedly raised issues over passing the torch to the longtime ayatollah’s son.

Darn, I was hoping he was turned into kitty litter too..oh well, will have to try again
It’s like Trump and Hegseth are playing Whack-A-Mole with the ragheads.
OTHER REPORTS SAY HE IS DEAD.
“I want to see the IRGC wiped out.”
That would be wonderful.
You are clueless.
99.4% Muslim according to ... the Mullahs.
GAMAAN Survey estimates less than 40% actually “identify as muslim” whatever that means.
Iran is trying to beat that.
[OTHER REPORTS SAY HE IS DEAD.]
Remember Pappy Khamenei was “alive” for 2 days after his house was destroyed.
Iran has a President. Why do they need a Supreme Leader? Jerks. Who answers to whom?
“So, we’re making this a war on Shia Islam and think a nation with 90% Shia Muslims”
I’m pretty sure that if the nation of 93 million people had free and open elections. You would see a major change.
I sure as hell would not want my church leaders running the USA! They can barely govern themselves.
War is being made on a group of corrupt thugs who claim they are religious leaders. They have killed thousands of Iranians who want their freedom .
Oh, F off. No one cares what you think.
The circle grows smaller and smaller, The varsity team and their bench are all out of the game, for good. The B team is largely disorganized at the moment, and the assistant coaches don’t have the playbooks, nor can they rally the team spirit.
Hit ‘em again, captain. In the locker room, if that is where they are hiding out. Nobody gets out the door.
The war is on the theocracy, who happen to be Shia Muslim. Apparently something on the order of 95% of the population oppose the current regime. If the war were on Shia version of Islam, we would be bombing mosques and killing Imams and the lower order of Mullahs in Iran.
Is this the guy that went to the UK for Erectile Dysfunction treatments?
No kidding.
I have known plenty of Iranians, before, during, and after November 1979, and the ones I knew were likable, westernized, secular, urbane and intelligent.
I know the Islamic Regime did everything in its power to barbarously murder those types of people, but I’ll bet that that a majority of educated Iranians today would, if they didn’t have a scimitar held to their neck, classify themselves as secular muslims.
